DAVID: OUR COUNTRY'S SECURITY
CHIEFS TESTIFYING IN FRONT OF
CONGRESS.
DESPITE THE CHARM OFFENSIVE AT
THE OLYMPICS THE THREAT LEVEL
FROM THAT COUNTRY REMAINS HIGH.
>> MILLION MAN ARMY.
70% IS SOUTH OF PONGYANG.
THEY TRAIN IN VERY DELIBERATE
FASHION.
THE CALCULUS IS NOT CHANGING.
WE SHOULD NOT BE MISLED TAKING
PLACE AROUND THE OLYMPICS.
DAVID: HERE IS LIEUTENANT
COLONEL OLIVER NORTH, HOST OF
"WAR STORIES" ON FOX NEWS.
COLONEL, FRANKLY AS LOW IN
ESTEEM I PUT THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA ANYWAY, I WAS AMAZED AT
THEIR BUYING IN TO THIS
PROPAGANDA EFFORT.
IT IS, IT IS LIKE, IN FACT IT IS
EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHEN SOME
MEDIA OUTLETS IN THE '30s
BOUGHT INTO HIT -- HITLER'S SHOW
AT THE OLYMPICS BACK THEN.
I'M GLAD THE MILITARY CHIEFS,
NONE OF THEM FELL FOR IT.
>> OF COURSE THE INTELLIGENCE
CHIEFS WERE TESTIFYING TODAY,
THIS IS AN ANNUAL AFFAIR, TO
HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE
DESCRIBE FOR THE CONGRESS WHAT
THEY PERCEIVE TO BE THE GLOBAL
THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES.
AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT
THAT OUR MEDIA ON THE ISSUE OF
WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE
OLYMPICS, GOT TO SAY IT, VLADMIR
PUTIN IS NOTHING MORE THAN LENIN
WHO DESCRIBED AMERICA'S MEDIA
AND WESTERN MEDIA AT THE TIME
BACK IN 1920s AS QUOTE USEFUL
IDIOTS.
LOOK, THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING
ON EVER SINCE THIS OLYMPIC TALK
BEGAN IS PLAYING DIRECTLY INTO
THE HAND OF PONGYANG.
OF COURSE HE HAS HIS LITTLE
SISTER WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE
PROPAGANDA MINISTRY UP THERE.
SHE IS THE ONE CARRYING THE
CANDLE FOR THIS THING.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT HAPPENED BEFORE.
DAVID: I HAVE TO ARGUE WITH YOU
ON ONE POINT.
I WOULDN'T SAY THERE IS ANY
SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE NORTH
KOREANS AND PUTIN.
NORTH KOREANS MAKE PUTIN LOOK
LIKE A HUMANITARIAN.
THAN PUTIN BUT LET ME JUST ASK
WHETHER, I CAN SORT OF
UNDERSTAND THE MEDIA FALLING FOR
IT BUT, SOUTH KOREANS, HOW CAN
THE SOUTH KOREANS -- I
UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE SO CLOSE,
THEY KNOW WHAT THE NORTH KOREANS
ARE UP TO.
THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH DEFECTORS
FOR THEM TO KNOW HOW BRUTAL THAT
REGIME IS.
ARE THEY REALLY FALLING FOR
THIS?
>> LOOK IT, THE SOUTH KOREAN
GOVERNMENT OVER THE COURSE OF
MANY YEARS DONE EVERYTHING THEY
CAN TO CAUSE A NEGOTIATION OF
SOME KIND AS IF THE NEGOTIATION
IS THE GOAL.
THE GOAL HERE IS TO
DENUCLEARIZING THE ENTIRE
PENINSULA.
THAT IS GOING TO TAKE AS MANY
OTHERS HAVE POINTED OUT A REGIME
CHANGE IN PONGYANG.
THAT IS ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN IF
THE CHINESE WANT IT TO.
THE BOTTOM LINE OF IT IS, SOUTH
KOREANS, IN MANY CASES,
DIFFICULT GOVERNMENTS, IT'S A
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT, WILL DO
THIS KIND OF THING AND IGNORE
THE MISSILE LAUNCH MUCHS, THEY
IGNORE THE NUCLEAR TESTS AND GET
UP AS THE NORTH KOREANS THREATEN
TO DO A NUCLEAR TEST IN THE
ATMOSPHERE.
DAVID: COLONEL, WE HAVE ONLY 30
SECONDS.
I HAVE TO MOVE YOU TO THE MIDDLE
EAST.
THERE WAS A BATTLE IN SYRIA
WHICH THERE MAY HAVE BEEN
RUSSIANS KILLED BY AN
AMERICAN-ORGANIZED STRIKE.
WHEN YOU HAVE AMERICANS KILLING
RUSSIANS IN A BATTLE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST THAT IS KIND OF
DANGEROUS, NO?
>> WELL, LOOK IT.
THE RUSSIANS ARE LYING.
THEY ROUTINELY LIE.
THEY TOLD DEFENSE SECRETARY JIM
MATTIS THAT THERE WERE NO
RUSSIANS THERE.
THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN
BECAUSE THE QUOTE AGREEMENT WAS,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE RUSSIANS
UP FLYING NEAR AMERICANS OR ON
THE GROUND NEAR THE AMERICANS.
THIS WAS DEFENSIVE ATTACK,
COUNTERATTACK TO PREVENT AN
AMERICAN UNIT, ADVISING THE
SO-CALLED FREE SYRIAN ARMY, AND
THEY WERE A THREAT.
AND NOW IF THERE WERE RUSSIANS
THERE AND RUSSIANS LIED ABOUT
IT, I'M NOT SURPRISED.
DAVID: ARE THEY VIRTUALLY
EVERYWHERE IN SYRIA?
APPEARS SO?
>> THEY ARE ALL THE PLACE.
SPETSNAZ UNITS WITH THE
REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS IN THE
COUNTRY BACKING UP ASSAD REGIME
IN DAMASCUS, HAVE TO BE ALL OVER
